Miss Hernandez - Alren

Velvet Box

"Marry me?"

Lauren is shocked, one second she's eating her girlfriend out, the next she's getting proposed to. She laughs, "Ally you're not serious.." Ally cups Lauren's face, shaking her head, "No, no listen...Lauren let's get married, marry me, I mean it." Lauren's heart is beating. "You're serious?" and Ally nods her head. "Yes, I know this isn't an ideal proposal, but goodness Lauren, my life's been so much better with you in it, you and Honey."

"Honey and you." 

Ally smacks her arm.

She didn't realize the tears in her eyes till they fell on Ally. "Baby, of course I'll marry you, I wanted to ask the day I saw you again." Ally smiles and kisses Lauren, again. Lauren pulls away. "You know, I kinda wanted to ask you first, that just means you gotta let me buy the rings, because obviously we could've done better." Ally laughs and pulls Lauren down, as the get ready for a long night of love making. 

Next Morning

"Lo, I'm gonna take Honey to school, she has a dance recital on Friday, I do think we should start planning for her fourth birthday, you know how excited she is." Ally kept rambling and rambling, and Lauren couldn't help but just smile. "You know, I love how you love her."

Ally stops talking, and smiles at her. "Of course I love her, I love her as much as I love you." Ally leans down and gives her a quick kiss, before exiting the room to get Honey.

Lauren knows Ally deserves a better proposal. She also knows she can't let Dinah and Camila know that Ally proposed first, or they will call her a bottom for the rest of her life. Lauren starts to get herself ready, while she hears her daughter and Ally laughing in the restroom. Shaking her head, she goes and walks slowly out of the bedroom, and stops to watch Ally and Honey laughing together, as Honey brushes her teeth and Ally fixes her hair. 

"Mommy looking at us." Honey giggles, and Lauren rolls her eyes, because she swore she was being discreet. "Good morning princess, ready for daycare? You know in a few weeks, you're moving up." Lauren says, and Honey swishes her before spitting. "Yea, Tia Dinah says Gordo going to pre-school, can I go?" Ally looks up at Lauren surprised, the daycare goes to 5 years old, but pre-school can be started at 3. Lauren knows her daughters smart, she got that from Lucy. 

"We can talk about it later baby, go get dressed." Lauren says, and Honey nods running off to her room. "Do you think we should start getting her registered?" Ally asks. Lauren's is still thinking, she doesn't know why this is tugging at her, but it's making her emotional. "She's growing up so fast..." Lauren mutters, and Ally goes to give her a hug. "Yes she is." 

 Daycare

"Hey Ally, how are you doing?" Dinah asks, sitting at the front desk with Normani in the back fixing her computer and printer. "Look at you, being in charge suits you." Ally says, and Dinah smiles. "How's my little niece doing? You excited for your birthday?" Dinah asks, and Honey nods. "Yes, I want Awwey to meet my momma." Honey says, and both Dinah and Ally are confused. "She does know your mommy Hun." Normani says, but Honey shakes her head. "No, not that mommy, my angel mommy." 

Ally realizes Honey turning four, means it's been four years since Lucy's been gone. "I'll do whatever you want baby, let's go take you to your class." Honey smiles and trots off, and all the girls exchange the same looks. 

Kelly's Jewels

"Do you need any help Miss?" A pretty blonde comes up to Lauren, as she's looking at all the rings. "Yeah actually that be great Miss..." Lauren looks at the tag, "Tori."

Tori smiles, and motions her to follow. "We just got the new rings today, now they are a bit pricey, but if you're partner likes big and bold I'd assume these are the right ones for them" Lauren thought about it then shook her head. "Mmmno, Ally is a humble little ball of sunshine, like a down to earth kinda person." Tori thought about it for a second, then got an idea. "Hold on, one sec!" Tori ran to the back, and started rummaging through boxes. Lauren was in shock, and kind of amused when she heard a crash, but a quick, "I got it!" from Tori. 

Tori came back, with a red velvet box. "Before me, and my mother, and even my grandmother, my great grandma would travel the world looking for jewels from caves, to places in Antartica and even secret rainfalls," Tori opened the box to five beautiful rings, "She had 20 in total, and she kinda gave them to people she knew that would absolutely cherish them." Lauren's eye immediately caught the opal ring. It was beautiful and simple, nothing too big, yet not significant either. She knew Ally would love it. 

"I can tell you like this one, she had this one the year my mom was born." Lauren starts to reach for her wallet, but Tori shakes her head. "It's not everyday I see somebody have so much love for someone else, sure tons of people come in looking for a ring, but most of the time there is no love behind it, I don't want you paying for a love so priceless, just make sure you invite me to the wedding." Lauren smiles, and reaches out to give Tori a hug. "Thank you so much, I'll defiently remember to send you an invitation, I know Ally's gonna love this."
